Description
Master of the World: Robur has at his fingertips an assortment of whiz-bang 19th-century whatchamacallits including the Albatross, a fantastic flying machine that's at once part zeppelin, part whirlybird, part resort hotel and completely lethal with its overwhelming combination of see-you-later speed and bombs-away firepower that can blast the armies of the world to their knees. Crafty Robur guides the Albatross over the continents, humbling nations one by one when they refuse to kowtow to his self-styled brand of peace or else. Finally, on-board captive and U.S. agent Strock decides he must somehow put an end to Robur's crazed scheme for world dominance while there is still a world to be saved.
